An artist in Leeds has been writing messages and drawing images on public walls, without the least bit of property damage. He is strategically cleaning away caked-on grime into the shapes of letters. His letters stand out almost as well as spray-paint, and yet, if anything, he has made the owners job slightly easier should they ever choose to clean it. Apparently he only uses water and a stiff brush.

It's writing in dusty windshields times a thousand.
